    In the prehistory of this current mill, the city of Utrecht had dozens of mills in its heyday.[2] The defenses around the city were mainly used as locations for mills. The summer storm of 1674 with a tornado destroyed many buildings in the city of Utrecht. The devastation under the mills was such that after the storm only two of the mills on the city walls were still standing.

    The original Rijn en Son mill was built in 1745 on the city wall at the Paardenveld by order of Govert van Rhijn and Bernardus Sonnenberg, namesakes of the mill.
